Pls identify this plant species of Gujarat:

Kindly identify and confirm the plant found in Panchamahal District of Gujarat State.
Plant was collected from paddy field during August month.
Let me know the botanical name of the plant.
Plant locally known as VARIYALI.

Hygrophila sp.?

Is it Limnophilla indica

Can anyone have any idea about the family (with key charecters) ???????
i think this will give initial idea about the identification

Limnophila i thought was semi aquatic plant. The ground in the picture doesnt favour the habitat of the species.

Lots of confusion!
Please send us more information regarding the plant.
I think you have taken this picture away from the natural habitat of the plant, the nature of the stem gives an illusion that this could be semi aquatic (sometimes this might mislead and get in to wrong ID).

As the plant was collected from a paddy field, it may be Limnophila repens (Benth.) Benth. as per details and references herein. 

On further checking, I think it should be Limnophila rugosa (Roth) Merr. as per images and details herein.

you are correct, we have reported first time in Gujarat.
